ÂExplanation of a Serpentine Belt
A serpentine belt is a long belt that looks like a snake and that does wind through the entire engine. This belt is responsible for a range of different functions in your car from the power steering to the air conditioner. This belt helps to run the alternator, the power steering pump, the air conditioning, the water pump, and more. This is an essential part of your car and without it, you are going to have a huge deal of trouble driving your car if you can drive it at all. On top of that, the serpentine belt is under a great deal of tension and does cause a lot of damage to the engine if it snaps while you are driving. Serpentine belts are essential for your car and without it, you are not going to be able to drive for very long.

Can You Drive Without a Serpentine Belt?
The serpentine belt is essential for your car to run smoothly and to run properly. Without the serpentine belt, you are only going to be able to drive for a few minutes before the car does die and will not drive. The main issue with a bad serpentine belt is that your engine is not going to be getting cooled off if the serpentine belt in your car runs the cooling pump. If your serpentine belt does not run the cooling pump the main issue will become the alternator being out. The alternator works to make sure that the battery stays charged and when the battery goes out, the car is going to stop. You are not going to be able to drive very long or very far with a bad serpentine belt and making sure you are keeping it in good repair is essential.Â
